Can you give us your dates/flights as an example ?
As mentioned above I'm with you here Matt4. Works for F but in J the price jumps when you add a stopover, despite the fare basis staying the same.

Would be interested to see any counter-examples in J.

Right now I'm only seeing about 1100 GBP for the stopover included.

it must be the HIP check. I am surprised the F stopover works though

I will have a go at it a bit later

I was planning to take my kids to the Canaries for October half term, but checked on this just in case--my trip was US$1940 and the child fare only $1578. F outbound (sitting in a lot of J) and J inbound, AAJIPI. All in J came to $1600ish.

I wasn't able to get either direction via LHR so my TATLs are only in a 772 and 757 but I figured that was good enough for a relatively short-notice journey starting on day one of a school holiday.

Thanks, OP

I think I've run around in circles so much I've ended up confusing myself.

One cannot book EU-US//US-Caribbean//Caribbean-US//US-EU, correct?

My confusion is the fare rules stating two stop-overs are allowed; I've got myself convinced these are in addition to the destination, but am I incorrect?

Sigh ... too much FT'ing does one's head in

Yes you can. A stay at the destination is not a "stopover"

I have no problem including a s/o in J. In my example below, the price is inflated because I chose a s/o in Paris, adding me lots of taxes there.

The beach is an easy, 15 minute walk from the terminal. I've done it a few times. No sidewalk as you get closer to the beach but there is a semi-protected shoulder of the road so it is safe. Just walk out of arrivals and turn left. There is still no left luggage nor shower facilities in the terminal.

And the views of jets landing right over your head is lots of fun.


Technically there is an I:I transit available if you have your onward BP but I'm not sure if it would work for a straight turn.

Hope Cancún treated you well Ldnn1

Hey abitwild, how did you find your fare? Try to find it on aa.com and on ebookers without a result...

Nobody has a problem to include a stopover here, but the price is raising when you add a stop in the US, although fare rules allow a free stopover.

When adding e.g. MIA for a stop the HIP check // HIP rule applies here and that's the reason why the price is raising up

adding PARIS will not effect the HIP rule as you can see in your example

Enjoy

EDIT: That one does not include the flat bed, use the multi city option on the AA.com website, I just tried it and it worked for me.

MAD-SKB and SKB-CDG

Great idea, two trips for the price of one (plus a one way to Spain). Merci beaucoup.

Hi Calchas,

I've played around with this a bit the past couple of days, and simply cannot get it to price correctly with a stopover in the US each way. I thought that's what the fare says; but, regardless of date, I am left with fares substantially higher.

Any chance you've had some success - or anyone else - pricing it out like that?
